I am close to having my x25 up and running, but I am having some issues with the PPS-43 mag feeding correctly into the barrel. It's hitting wrong when feeding from the right side of the mag, but smoothly from the left side. I have some ideas on what I might do to profile what little remains of the bullet guide, but I thought that I would ask to see if anyone has any good pics of their set-up using the PPS-43 mags, where I can see what their bullet guide looks like. That might speed up my getting this thing up and running. Thanks in advance.

I wish I could help you out on this one I used ppsh-41 mags (center feeds) but would rather have used pps-43 mags, Ive been following your posts on this build for somthing that I could use. I do no that Dutigaf had a thread on his build here some time back, you might have to jump over on WeaponsGuild and ask him (SDK) good luck

Thanks Rapid. I went ahead and welded and re-profiled the bullet guide some last night. It seems to be feeding better by hand, so now I'm finally ready to test fire. I can't wait. I definitely need to SBR it, as it looks really good with an AMD side folder on it versus the pistol trunnion.

Right hand side feeding on mine is always spotty. Unfortuantely it is o nly noticiable during live firing. Hand cyclying . it always feeds fine.

Hey gwailo, thanks. Yeah, I have one of those from EOD on my blowback x25 build. It works fine. I built a second x25 that is gas operated and I used a PPS43 magwell welded into the AK receiver. That is the one that I am having some serious feeding issues on. I really could use a pic still of what type profile someone else has sucessfully done to make theirs feed properly. Mine looks great, feeds like crap. LOL. Any rate, thanks for the input.

You didn't machine that one yourself did you? I know that's the same as the EOD magwell, but your pic doesn't have the logo milled into it like mine does.
